The large-scale blasting at the Goantagab mine in the Sorris Sorris conservancy near Khorixas last Friday has reignited debate over the potential threat to desert-adapted rhinos, tourism and the interests of traditional leaders. On Tuesday, Dâure Daman Traditional Authority chief Zacharias Seibeb threatened to relocate three rhinos from the area to Etosha National Park to make way for tin exploration. "If Ultimate Safaris and all others are not willing to co-exist with mining, I will request the Ministry of Environment and Tourism to relocate these alleged three black rhinos to Etosha Pan in the interest of generating 300 jobs for my people," he told one of the critics of the mining activities in the conservancy.
